A circuit diagram for the inner and outer hair cells. Superscripts and denote inner and outer hair cells. Subscripts MT and and indicate the MET channels and apical and basolateral parts of the hair cells, respectively. This model configuration or similar versions of it can be seen in Dimitridias and Chadwick [206]; Iwasa and Sul [205]; Dallos [203, 204]; Mistrík et al. [210]; Johnson et al. [192]; Cheatham et al. [211] just to cite a few. Mistrík et al. [210] has used this electrical model with longitudinal resistances to model the current flow in a model of the cochlea, as shown in Figure 30.
